Mona's Banana Bread Pudding

>> Monday, April 4, 2011


Here is a recipe I saw online for Magnolia's Banana Bread Pudding. It's famous in New York; apparently people line up for the pudding and their cupcakes. I just finished making it; but have not tasted it yet (it has to set for another few hours). I would much rather have garnished the top with banana's and the wafers but I ran out of banana's and used a strawberry instead. I hope it tastes as good as they say it does. 

UPDATE: OMG delicious, can't stop eating it!!!



How amazing does this look? Pass me a spoon please!!


MONA'S BANANA BREAD PUDDING

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups ice cold water
1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (preferably Jell-O brand)
3 cups heavy cream
1 (12-ounce) box Nabisco Nilla Wafers (no substitutions!)
4 cups sliced ripe bananas


  • In a small bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and water until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the pudding mix and beat well, about 2 minutes more. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight, before continuing. It is very important to allow the proper amount of time for the pudding mixture to set.
  • In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream until well blended and no streaks of pudding remain.
  • To assemble the dessert, select a large, wide bowl (preferably glass) with a 4-5-quart capacity. Arrange one-third of the wafers to cover the bottom of the bowl, overlapping if necessary, then one-third of the bananas and one-third of the pudding. Repeat the layering twice more, garnishing with additional wafers or wafer crumbs on the top layer of the pudding. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours - or up to 8 hours, but no longer! - before serving.
